Paccar Scout Camp Update

With the new season about to start it seems an appropriate time to send an update on the immense amount of work that has been done at Paccar over the Christmas and New Year period and to separate fact from fiction !!!

With the combined efforts of Crew, Supporters and co-operation from outside contractors here’s an outline of the progress made.

Gas Works completed on schedule. Complete new gas mains laid to all buildings

Underground Power Cable trunking laid in preparation for installation of new Electricity Supply

Installation commenced of new High Security Paxton locks which will be fitted to all buildings

Base for New Rifle Range laid, Erection of building starts this week

High Ropes Course upgraded and new Bornack Safety System installed

Foundations installed for new Twin Zip Wires due for completion in Spring

New Indoor Caving activity installed and operational

Over 20 trees which fell during the pre Christmas storms cleared (the upside is we now have massive woodpiles)

Three woodland camp sites cleared of Holly, Rhododendron and overgrowth each more than doubling in size

24 Brand New Alter Fires made

Bungalow completely refurbished including full re-wiring

And much more……
